VCAL

Senior VCAL SWL (Structured Work Placements)

 

The VCAL certificate at the Senior level recognises completion of a senior secondary qualification and primarily prepares students for further studies at the next VCAL level, in Further Vocational Education and Training and/or employment.

 

Here at St Bede’s College we aim as a school to provide many varied opportunities to prepare our students for their ‘Next Step’ in life.  Students then attend TAFE, undergoing the studies in their chosen VET and the final day is dedicated to honing their skills learnt in a Structured Work Learning environment with an employer aligning with their VET.  

 

Our Senior VCAL students for 2020 had some great experiences on SWL in the Flying Start Program of 2019.  The students were engaged in two full weeks of placements which helped provide an insight into what a normal week of work entailed.  Students were able to see the progression of jobs and tasks over the placement, providing real life experience for the young men of the College.
